1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Acute urine retention is the most common urologic emergency, and it usually presents with abdominal pain and an inability to pass urine. The distended bladder in urine retention can be enormously large, raising the intra-abdominal pressure and compressing the iliac veins draining the lower limbs and pelvis. Many cases have been reported to have deep vein thrombosis (DVT)-like features with urine retention that resolves with bladder decompression. In rare cases, urine retention can lead to DVT, particularly in young patients. We report a case of a young female patient with a huge distended bladder who devolved extensive venous thrombosis bilaterally. The report sheds light on this unusual complication of acute urine retention and reviews the existing literature on the topic.
